I have a varied work experience history that fits most businesses. Having worked with the public in some of their worst circumstances, as well as their best, I know how to work with people. As a business entrepreneur, I know about innovation, client satisfaction and management of personnel and resources.

Owning my own business has expanded my customer service capabilities and my creativity. I strive to make sure all of my clients are happy with my workmanship and products from start to finish (my company was nominated and accepted to Angie's List) and the more clients that I meet with, the more I am challenged in my design work.
